Directions
Gently heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the potatoes and onions, cooking them until the potatoes start to get a nice golden color and the onions turn soft and translucent—this usually takes about 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, warm up a smaller pan over medium-high heat and cook the sausage along with the apples, cranberries, and seasonings like salt, black pepper, fennel, rosemary, and red pepper flakes. Let everything cook together for about 5 minutes until the sausage is browned and the apples are tender. Once both parts are ready, mix the sausage and fruit mixture into the potatoes, give it a good stir, and you’re all set to enjoy!
Serving Ideas To Try

How To Refrigerate This Dish
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat to keep the potatoes crispy, or microwave briefly if in a hurry.
